withal, a general result at once mortify

“ Indeed, farm laborers, and some
proprietors, far from being prosperous
are generally poor, hopelessly in debt or
insolvent.

author ol the address before us falls to
sen this pregnant truth.
Onr rural economy was defective
when slavery existed; It is no better
now. Men who assume to know already
, all that is knowablc, never improve
their practice or principles. In such a
case nothing remains but for kind death
to put an end to a malady and all
its pains, which are otherwise incurable.
This done, immigrants will come
in with lesi bias in favor ot tillage and
planting, less prejudice against grass and
grass culture, less antipathy to sheep,
cattle and horses, and a inoro just appre
ciation of domesticated animals, which
have changed man from a wild flesh
eating beast of prey Into a social, moral
and intellectual being of wonderful
attainment and ambition.

Marl and Lima as Fertilirsrs.
Sand or clay was-nto* conspicuous in
the marls used by European farmers.
Chemistry revealed the presence of lime,
Mhn; potash, magn&ia. so<fa, chlorine,
phosphoric, sulphuric and carbonic acids
in msny marls. He fertilising substau
ces attracted more attention than either
sand or clay, for their value depends
mainly on the alkaline earths, alkalies
and acids present. Lime and magnesia
are called alkaline earths; potash and
soda, alkalies. Any earth deposit
whether clay or rand predominates, that
contains a good deal of soft uaotfous
laa, magnesia or potash, may be c6n
sidered a* a variety of marl.
It seems that minerals which form the
food of plants, have an attraction for
each other so to accumulate in masses,
instead of remaining widely separated as
in the ocean or in primitive rocks. For
instance, there is a law which unites Ore ,
lime derived from hornblende and syen- ,
enite with potash that comes from a very
different rock, namely, granite. Our
lariat oaks, poplars and hickories grow
on limestone soils, where they find not
only lime, hut a full supply of potash, as
may be demonstrated by the strength of
their ashes in this alkali. Let one learn
how rich marl is formed by manure j
and he will be likely to understand
how fertile soils are made.
The same law that accumulates lime
rock in mountain masses, and iron in
little less quantities, collects salts of soda,
magnesia, potash and lime in quantities
available as manure in a concentrated
form. Thus, the phosphates found in
Mouth Carolina are sent to England to be
Used as food for growing ‘crops, along
with nitrates from Chili and gnano from
Pern. M ineral fertilizers should be more
studied, for they exist wherever agri
culture is possible; and marl and lime
are proper starting points In the Inveetl

He applies from 140 to 250 bushels of
unalarked lime to the acre, and spreads
It as soon as the heaps become air-slaked.
He finds it profitable on both clay and
sandy lands. This is burning lime for
leas than half the cost in New Jersey,
I’ennsylvatiia and New Y'ork. Marl h

The German chloride of jtaaeujn is re
garded as the cheapest source of this
alkali, except where one has marl that
contains it near by. Liming belne -soils
to produce clover and wheat.
Mixing clay and ssndy land to im
prove the textum and- onoatituents at
both is a practice quite as old-asany
written history ; and liming and marling
are the first steps iu advance of that
primitive art. Paring turf and charring
it to obtain turf ashes and roasted clay
come next in order. There are many
ways in which fire will increase the solu
bility of minerals used as plant food,
besides burning limeetone, bones, clays
and rotten granite. A little heat pro
motes fermentation and the revolution of
much carbonic acidgaa, which iaa power
ful solvent. Water thrown on quick
lime generates at once a remarkable
amount of heat.
We have known this heat ued to kill
the life in the need of weeds that may
exist in a dungbeap. The lime is slaked |
under the heap of manure. Lime is not i
to be regarded ax a irabstilute for manure,
but as an aid to increase fruitfulness. A *
little stable manure goes farther on land !
marled or limed than tfnlaud not to be so
treated. Clover, peas, and other reno
vating plants dobatter on calcareous soils
than on those where lime is deficient.
It often happens that one mUBt improve
tilled ground of abandon his farm, or
work for a very small compensation.
How to Raise Pigs
Almost any person can raise stock, as
Is proved by the great quantity of in
ferior animals scattered over the coun
try ; hut to raise stock which will prove
profitable' to breed, fatten and kill in
quires more skill and judgment that
most persons are williog 'to allow. For
instance, it is a very easy matter to pro
duceone or more litters of pigs each year,
but to produce them of a uniformly high
grade is not so easy, taking the pigs as a
class. A few may come finely-formed,
and may grow well and profitably, but
it is uniformly good animals we are after,
i. e., we want all or nearly all of each
litter to heuf an equally high degree of
excellence. Tills can bo accomplished,
but can only be done by using expe
rienced judgment in breeding and feed
ing. There are many points that can be
brought to view ou paper, but the min
ut! or detail* can only be learned by
| oxperienaa. ~ * §< ■ ■ * %
In swine breeding it is not advisable to
: breed a sow too young—not until she is
at least six months old. If she proves a
good milker, suckles her offspring well
and produces large and even littere, she
should be kept for a breeder just as long
asshewill breed, for every subsequent
litter will be almost sure to be nn im
provemeut on the one that preceded it,
Home farmers jiermit their bows to rut
about in the fields or woods when about
to farrow, but in this way many of the
pigs are lost from auddeu exposure to
1 cold and rainy weather. A better plan
is to put the sow in a clean and airy pea
a week or ten days before the pigs are
due, u portion of the pen to be well cov
ored, and the whole l>ottora laid with
plank or polea to prevent the sow Irom
burrowing, giving her but little litter,
well broken up before the small porkers
arrive. Care should also be taken not to
1 Iced too high for a few days before farrow
ing, as overfed sows are apt to destroy
their young. Itfo well, teo, to feed her
partly on green food to keep the bowels
open and prevent constipation and its
evil consequences.
As soon as the pigs come, they com
mence to suck, and the sow should hgvs
aJI the food she will eat, the greater (he
yiirlety the better, as it will serve to
keep her quiet and healthy. When the
pigs aft a Week or so old ~§a Opening
should be made at off* tdde and
hear the botto’m of the pie, so that the j
little fellows can have free egress aud \
take as much exerefoeas thoy please, and
a small trough placed within coavenient
distance in which mi]k should be put
three times a day. This the little
porkers will soon find and appropriate to
themselves, and thus relieve the mother
sow irom the constant and heavy drain
upon her by some ten or twelve little
squealers. This course of feeding them
should be continued until they are six
or eight weeks old, at which time the
sow should be taken from them and
they placed in the pen and given all they
will eat, such as slops from the kitchen,
refuse milk from the dairy, cut clover, j
1 etc., until they are four or five months j
| old, when they may be turned into a
| clover field or other pasture aud fed a i
little corn daily uutil time to put up to
fatten aud kill.
The great advantage of this method
consists in keeping the pig growing
rapWiy while it is young, and allowing
it uo opportunity to become stunted.
farming under ©rffrcuKies
Southern farmers who have to deal
with unreliable labor or thievsih neigh
bors, often imagine that their troubles
and difficulties are greater than those
endured by their class ip any other pert
:of the world. The attention of such is
called to reliable statistics collected in
British India by the government. In
the year 1576. 21,391 person* were killed
by snakes and wild animals in that
country, and 48,234 heal of cattle.
Over 21,000 persons killed by inferior
animals and over 48.000 head o* the
farmer* rattle killed in twelve maSBC?
tell lira reader of the cxirtenea of n kind
of warfare froM year to year and flora
generation to gene ration, of which we
know next to nothing in the southern
state*. The government of the rmpress
of India pay* a bounty for the deetruo |
lion of the snakes and ferocious beasts
rao*t harmful to man, and we find the
rtatistlca exceedingly latereatlng Wolves
killed I/h;| persons, and in return 1,424
wolves were slain. Tigers killed 82*
persons. The number of tignn slain is
not stated, l-eopards slew 2(M human
: beings ; and of these animail 2,51 2 were
slain, the bounty being high to
le-sen their number. Bears slew 84
persons and loet in the warfare. 1,181 ;
;of their number. Hyenas slew 68 of our
I species, and I.Mti of the tribe were slain.
Strange to sey, wild beasts commit little
havoc as compared with the lorn by
snakes. Iu the year under notice these
reptiles killed 17,070 of onr fellow-beings
—a very respectable army.
But the wnr was carried into Asia by
! the government of the new empress of
■ India, which paid a bounty on the sev
eral heads of 270,185 poisonous snakes
i killed in one year. Did this enmity be
tween man and the serpent begin with
our first parents? It
while snakes killed over'lT.ObO of the
biped that laughs and cries, they caused
tne death of only 3,106 cattle. In the
province ot Madras leopards killed 4,309
cattle and only 44 human beings.
We have cited facta enough to prove
| that the wheat and cotton growers in
I British India labor under peculiar diffi
l It itfDYnirtnke to suppose that Nature
i and Providence favor man conspicuoslv at
the expeo.i* tjf reptiles, tigers and
wolves. White woman in her best
state adds one or two to the pop)
olation of India of her
a female serpent may add 100 to her low
reptile race. Hence, a war of extermi
nation against poisonous snakes waged
6,000, amj, probably, 60,000 years, finds
these snakes numerous enough to kill
17,000 oi their enemies in a year in a
•iagte nation. Agricultural obstacles
are net so easily surmounted As many
suppose. As farmers we mhst go back
to the origin of things.
Not-to do so is to take a very super
ficial view of agriculture. Our advan
tages are large, but not without some
prominent disadvantages. Perhaps the
greatest difficulty we encotihter is the
absence of a taste for sound agricultural
rtadifig slid a- want of rppiroaMon ; of
useful knowledge. In his late message

Mkin of l’lesh-lSating Animals.
Turning to the structure of the group,
one of the first things that strikes ns i*
the i(H*eiifU of their skin, which Instead
of being stretched on the body as tightly
as a drum parchment, as it is in grass*
I eaters—for instance, the ox or hippopota
mus—is quite “ baggyhaving between
it and the flesh of the beast a layer of the
loosest possible fibers. It is for this
reason that the skin of any but a very
fat dog can be pinched up so readily,
while of a Herbivore it may be said, in
the words of eulogy, uttered bv Mr.
Bqoeeftof Ms Sod WacVfoid, "Heft’s
firmness, here’B solidness! why you can
hardly get up enough of him between
your fingers and thumb to pinch him
anywhere.” In consequence of this the
operation of skinning a lion or a bear is
a comparatively easy one. After the
first cut the beast may be polled out of
its skin, almost without further use ef
the kni(e; while with the antelope or an
| ox the skin has to be cut awa\ carefully
aud laboriously jr-atn the underlying
flesh. Ttie lSe of*tf ft loose skin will lie
very evident to any one who will take
I the trouble to watch the great cats play,
j ing together at the Zoological Gardens.
! They arc continually scratching one
| another; but the loose skin is dragged
round by the claws, which, in conse
j quence, can get Uo bold, and do no harm;
with a tight ski-?, on the other hand, the
j slightest scratch of such a claw as a
j tiger’s, would cause a serious wound.
I The looseness of the skin is very evident
in the puma and jaguar, in which it
hangs in a fold along the middle of the
belly, like..a great dewlap.—[Cabell’s

The Wouderful Telluride.
“Professor Jaldin Smith, state geologist,
of Colorado, lately telegraphed that the
most remarkable “strike” made since
1875 in the wonderfully rich telluride
belt of Colorado had just been made in
the cross cut from the American to the
Ajax lode, ih the American Consolidated
company’s property. The mail brings a j
! full description of the new vein and !
eamples of the ore, which prove to be as ,
rich telluride and free gold ore as the
famous samples from the American, some f
ot which have yielded at the United !
States assay office here at the rate of I
*i0,060 per ton, and others rm up as
high as $200,000 per ton. The Workings
in the American itself continue to show
increase of ore with depth and increase
in average value. The developments
continue to incream the reserves of ore,
notwithstanding the increase of output.
Working* on the “slide,” tfce newly
acquired property of the American, are
being pushed in that shaft and levels,
and this vein holds its exceptional
average, the developments on the vein
yielding over s2' 0 per mining fothom.
The entire reserves, opened by nearly
one thousand feet of shaft and levels in
the “slide,” are still intact, no stopping
having been done to date This, however.
; will soon be done, doubling the output
ot the American consolidated. The
immediate effect of these successes i*
extraordinary stimulus to mining and

T " r * Cotton Jfnnnflnctiirr.
The Hon. John B. (totdon, t ailed
St vice Senator representing the state of
Georgia, kn very kindly, in reeponre to
onr Invitation, written a letter for pun
licalion, giving bia views upon " Cotton
Manufacturing at the Sentk." We here
thank the senator lor his courtesy and
acoommodatrea, and assure him the
attention his letter will arrest will be
very great. To our readers it is almost,
unnecceasary to state that the southern
senator is regarded as the highest author
ity on the cotton industries of the south,
and he is also favorably known to our
selves as a strong civil service reformer,
for whom we have long had great re
spect. He is one of the southerners who
bravely fought for what they thought
was right, but who now accept the results
of the war and earnestly support Presi
dent Hayes in his noble efforts towards
paoificatioQ. But to the letter.
In an editorial some weeks ago we ;
called attention tothe“Future of Cotton
Manufacturing in New England,” argu
ing that the time was at haud when the
south, in coarse goods, would not only
supply her own wants, but those of the
west lso. Senator Cordon claims that
cotton at Columbus, Oa., is *7 08 per
bale less there than at Fall river, and in
a consumption of five thousand bales
there would be an advantage ot $35,000;
due to situation alone. Thus, a Fall
river mfll having a total investment ot
$350,000, running on heavy goods, might
make a profit of $21,000, or 6 per cent,,
while a similar Georgia mill would earn
$66,000, or 16 per cent. Senator Gor
don produces figures to show that
the product of a Georgia mill oould
be even shipped to the north and sold
at a profit. He asserts:
“That tilQumet*intelligent manufac
turers of the worth already concede the
fact that the coarser yarns, No. 14 and
■lnder, cannot be manufactured there,
when sufficient machinery is in opera
tion in the south to supply the demand.”
The senator is perfectly .correct, and
he could ids') have stated that the more
intelligent manufacturers at the north
(or New England) ar§ seeking to de
velop technical education by which
skilled mechanics and trained taste and
skill shall be at hand in order that cot- |
ton manufacturing may reach to the high
est possible perfection. These gentle
men see that New England must in the
future make the finest goods and
the south the coarsest. They are
seeking to educate young men as
skilled artisans, and the theolo
gical school in this city is oue of
the means by wbich they expect to attain
their.object.
ffenAtor Gordon tells of the growth of
cotton manufacturing at the south. We
have ourselves diligently searched for the
figures referring to ech state, and after
considerable correspondence with the
officials of southern states, (all of whom
have been most accommodating) have
been unable to obtain such, as those states
have made no statistical collections of late
years. The senator’s statement concern
ing labor at the south is important. He
argues that the skilled mechanics are
not needed, since machinery does the
work. .There is an abundance of help,
and the climate not demanding large ex
penditures for coal and clothing, and ani
mal dieting—these all tend to make wages
one-third less than at the north. The
blessings of trade unions and strikes are
unknown (happy south!), and native
born Americans- constitute the large
majority of the hands. He claims that
during the much talked about summer
“ the ebstof labor is least and production
greatest,” He sustains this statement,
by figures which he challenges contra
diction by contrary facts.
With cotton at hand, labor abundant
and cheap, water power extensive, and
coal low, the southern cotton manufac
turing interests must indeed advance.
Their advantages must fell, and New
England cannot afford to be blind to them.
It is for our manufacturers to attain in
skill what- the south attains by natural
advantages.—[Boston Journal of Com
